To be fair, I never did see what Intel changed in any of their firmware updates
for CPUs, or what happened between iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode or
iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode, so it isn't an Ralink-specific issue.

(And yes, I know about forty-leven different reasons why Intel doesn't
changelog their firmware either, and Intel is more likely to listen to their
lawyers than to me ;)
